STONE SYMPATHY
this large rock in the abandoned field
its back arching up like one stooped
to pick there and a crack showing
made by time and sun and sun and sun
looks like it's waiting to pull
its hands and feet from the dirt
and trudge off to find its mountain again
or its seabed or wherever it came from
but its weight holds it fast in the field
to take on its back the full blast of weather
and sun and time and time and time
